Those who Christ died for were chosen in Christ and accepted in Him before the foundation of the world Eph 1:4-6

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Those who Christ died for?
(your Calvinism is showing)
Didn't Christ die for the whole world?

1 Timothy 4:10 NIV
That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God,
who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

He died for Gods chosen.

Not all faiths teach their faithful are sinners.

We make the love and grace so complicated. When in truth it is very easy. Love and be loved. Trust God. Show mercy as mercy was extended to us. Leave the harsh judgements to God. But, don't abandon your right to an opinion.
Never be baited to abandon your peace in Christ by those who work to show they know not peace.

God is always there. Even in the middle of the ocean on a raft, we are not alone. Wet and circled by sharks, but never alone. God is within. And he knows our hearts.

Don't be led to think you can't understand the Bible unless you know Hebrew and Koine Greek.
God leads us to understanding. Because in the beginning He was and is The Word.

Don't make it complicated. Otherwise you may begin to think you and holding to the faith is too complicated,and isn't worth it.
Jesus would disagree.

God loves you.
It's that blessedly and gracefully simple. Now, trust that and live your life. He's there.Eternally,no matter what.

Why would you ask that ?
Why are you so difficult to talk to?
It seems that every question is met with "Why would you ask that ?" or "Why?"

You were claiming that Jesus only died for his "chosen".
(which is patently false) Scripture posted to refute.

Here's my point.
If God chose only a certain number to be his elect,
what did he CHOOSE for the remainder?

Or, to put it another way...
If God elected a only few to life, then he elected all the others to destruction.

What sort of God would do that?

What's the difference between those who are saved and those who aren't? Beliefs? NO...It's about what WE do.

No, that's not true.

The DIFFERENCE between the unbeliever and the Believer, is that the Believer is born again.

We dont "DO" that.......we become that, by "new birth" in the Spirit.

= BORN... again.

Its only fair to caution you, the Truths of Tulip are Gods Truths, and what you say about them reflect your sentiments of the True God

God hates Calvinism.
He hates it...
And that is because, its a Cross Denying "Doctrines of Devils".... Hebrews 13:9

See :

God gave Jesus to the WORLD....... John 3:16.

Calvin denies the Cross, ..... and so, that demonic theology, is HATED by God.

The born again should hate it.. The born again should deny it, refute it, and despise it,... because it insults The Holy Lord's Sacrifice, It insults the Holy Sprit, as well as denying that God is Love.

Calvinism on a "Christian forum" is like water from a sewer being offered to drink.

You should leave this Cult mindest, and never ever look back.
